This oversized volume features big records, big events, and big ideas from the U.S. National Archives collection. Starting with the 13-foot scroll of the Articles of Confederation—the first constitution of the United States—these records reveal formative moments in American history. Among the items presented here in 104 color photos—including four on gatefold pages—are a section from the enormous 13-foot-square map of the Gettysburg battlefield, the size-22 sneakers of basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal, the seven-foot bathtub ordered for President William Taft, and several items related to World War II.
